Gabriel turns to the dark side

Gabriel is taking Conor and Adeeb to a concert, but is all too aware that Leyla won't be too chuffed. However, to his surprise, she allows it to go ahead. Conor is excited to be going with his uncle and comes to see him at the arcade before school. He manages to convince Gabriel to let him hang around a bit longer than he should - just as DCI Donald and his new recruit CID Will Cooper pay Lenny a visit.

Will is keen to impress his boss and has had a tip-off that Lenny has met with one of McCabe's old runners. The police take Conor outside as Will begins a search on Lenny's property. Lenny is uneasy as there's a gun hidden inside, but Gabriel quickly gets rid of it and Will leaves with his tail between his legs. However, Leyla has spotted Conor - not only out of school, but with the police - and tells Gabriel that he can no longer spend time with the boys. Gabriel is devastated, but Lenny is impressed with his quick thinking earlier and is going to give Gabriel an offer he can't refuse…

Meanwhile, Stella is feeling sick, and Iona thinks there's only one conclusion - she must be pregnant. Stella is reluctant to take a test, even though she knows it's a huge possibility. Later, Scarlett ribs Bob and Stella about when they might have kids and Bob says they're not ready for such a big responsibility. Stella confesses to Bob that they might not have a choice.

Elsewhere, Malcolm is preparing for his move to Loch Lomond and sets about packing up some books and plans to look at some properties. However, his family aren't keen, particularly when they see him getting confused throughout the day. Later, though, Dan takes Malcolm and Liz to the estate agents, where Malcolm realises that his dream home might be a little out his price league – and resolves to change one life-altering decision for another.
